Undoubtedly true, but I don't see how this is possible without a total reformation of the religion of Islam. I am not optimistic! Given this, if the people now living under the fist of Islam are finally freed and can court and love and marry whomever they choose, thus reopening the genetic pool, this will allow hybrid vigor to cleanse and restore to full health their populations.

That catalyst is inbreeding. As a direct result, the Muslim population is mentally developmentally disabled on a mass scale. That seems like a wild exaggeration. What geneticists expect from a pattern of endogamy is a higher incidence of genetically linked birth defects, not widespread mental disability. Inbreeding strengthens all traits, good and bad.

Ann Barnhardt goes on and on against first cousin marriage, calling the Koran the "most lax" incest prohibition in human history, seemingly unaware that the Mosaic Law allows first cousin marriage. As do most US states today. What distinguishes the Islamic world is that first and second cousin marriages are considered the norm and constitute about half of all marriages. BTW, Rome and Greece allowed paternal half-sibling marriages, considering paternal half-siblings to be less related than maternal half-siblings, a view we have laughed at since the discovery of genes, but may have to be reconsidered in view of recent discoveries concerning the epigenome.
